As previous research has indicated, it is not a common societal norm that sex offenders generally have a negative connotation associated with them. These types of perceptions are held without considering the varying types of sexual offenders and sexual offenses. The legislation concerning sex offenders is broad, and therefore encompasses a lot of different offenses and people. Notification of these types of offenders varies by state, but all states require sex offenders to register. A number of colleges also require sex offenders to register before attending classes. This research focuses on student's perception of sex offenders on college campuses. That is, it questions how a student's awareness of sex offender legislation and presence affect their attitudes and perceptions about sex offenders. This thesis was intended to research the UCF student's awareness of sex offenders (legislation and presence) in relation how it effects their perception of sex offenders. Students were surveyed and asked questions based on their knowledge, awareness, and opinion of sex offenders in general and at the college level. Results collected suggested that informing students does make them more aware of sex offenders. However, the heightened awareness does not improve the negative perception student's held about sex offenders. After conducting the study, it is my hope that it will aid in better understanding student perceptions of sex offenders in terms of how effective notification and awareness are.

This thesis observes sustainability on college campuses, specifically examining Claremont Mckenna College (CMC) as a case study. The question that this research paper explores is: how can we apply an integrative approach, one that integrates biophysical, economic, and social factors, to sustainability at CMC? The objectives of this paper are to (1) outline the history of sustainability on college campuses in the U.S. and define an integrative approach through a review of current literature; (2) explore CMC’s past and current sustainability initiatives from policies, reports, events, and interviews; (3) capture various community members’ perspectives on campus sustainability through surveys and interviews with students, faculty, and staff members; and (4) discuss the barriers and areas that need work at CMC and how an integrative approach can be applied as a solution. Thus, this thesis will track CMC’s progress in sustainability and give feedback as to the areas of success and areas that require work according to a working integrative framework.

Thesis advisor: Paul Gray / The prevalence of sexual assaults on college campuses has been gaining more attention in recent years. Through 16 undergraduate interviews with both male and female students, college students’ attitudes about hookup culture, the role of sexual consent, and issues that they see surrounding college campus sexual assault were explored. Students felt as though they were not responsible for their own decisions; failed to empathize with, and often objectified, fellow students; expressed a problematic distinction between sexual assault and rape; and voiced a pressure to act in accordance with traditional gender norms. There needs to be a shift in the way college students are introduced to college including frank conversation among students about the impact their actions can have on their peers and themselves. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.

O Brasil foi o pioneiro em termos da consolidação de uma escola de arquitetura moderna que disseminou um estilo, através de um grupo de arquitetos, entre eles Jorge Machado Moreira, que se apropriou dos conceitos modernistas de Le Corbusier, traduzindo-os em obras e buscando a síntese entre o moderno e as condições locais. Campi Universitários constituem uma categoria de projetos modernistas, que através da sua análise pode-se verificar o momento social de uma determinada época. A pesquisa discute o desdobramento do tema em um contexto específico dentro da cidade. É a cidade dentro da cidade, constituindo um microcosmo urbano. Este microcosmo urbano trata-se da Cidade Universitária da Universidade do Brasil, atual UFRJ, localizada na Ilha do Fundão, cujo plano urbano e projeto de alguns edifícios foi concebido pelo arquiteto Jorge Machado Moreira na década de 50. Embora a primeira parte do trabalho seja voltada ao conhecimento histórico de “campi universitários” e sua evolução, o foco do estudo centra-se no Plano inicial da Cidade Universitária da Universidade do Brasil (1949-1952), tido como o mais corbusiano, a Primeira versão (1954) e também na análise dos edifícios concebidos pelo arquiteto. A partir dessa análise, parte-se para as referências utilizadas por Jorge Machado Moreira para a concepção da Cidade Universitária. Por fim, aprofunda-se em três estudos de caso projetados por Jorge Machado Moreira na ilha: o Estádio Universitário (não executado), o Hospital Universitário e o Centro de Tecnologia. Devido a atualidade do tema, o estudo da Cidade Universitária da Universidade do Brasil representa um precedente exemplar no contexto latinoamericano, juntamente com as Cidades Universitárias da Venezuela e México. Desta forma, abre-se caminho para a investigação que segue, tendo em vista o ideal de “campus” como síntese e experimentação do urbanismo moderno. / Brazil was the pioneer in the consolidation of a school of modern architecture a style that that spread through a group of architects, among them Jorge Machado Moreira, who has appropriated the concepts of modernist Le Corbusier, translating them into work and seeking synthesis between the modern and local conditions. College campuses are a category of modernist projects, through its analysis that can verify the timing of a particular social season. The research discusses the unfolding of the topic in a specific context within the city. It is a city within a city, constituting an urban microcosm. This urban microcosm is to the University City University of Brazil, currently UFRJ, located on Fundão Island, whose urban plan and design of some buildings designed by arquitect Jorge Machado Moreira in the 50s. While the first part of the work is focused on the historical knowledge of "campuses" and its evolution, the focus of the study focuses on the initial plan of the University City University of Brazil (1949-1952), considered the most corbusian, the first version (1954) and also the analysis, we proceed to the references used by Jorge Machado Moreira for the design of University City. Finally, delves into three case studies designed by Jorge Machado Moreira on the island: the University Stadium (not running), the University Hospital and Center for Technology. Due to today’s topic, the study of University City University of Brazil represents an exemplary precedent in the latin american context, along with the City University of Venezuela and Mexico. This opens up the way for the research that follows, in view of the ideal “campus as synthesis and “testing of modern urbanism.

Over one million women in the United States are physically, sexually, or emotionally abused by a partner or former partner every year. Women between the ages of 18 and 34 are the most likely to experience intimate partner violence (IPV), with prevalence rates for that group double the overall national average. Although the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended universal screening for all women of child-bearing age, compliance with this recommendation remains low. The present study examined the effectiveness of an asynchronous educational intervention to increase perceived knowledge, actual knowledge, and screening behaviors among 44 college-based health care providers. Data were collected using the Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS). Results indicated that participation in the educational intervention did not have a significant effect on provider knowledge or screening behaviors. A positive trend was observed for perceived knowledge and knowledge regardless of treatment condition, but not for screening behaviors. The lack of significant findings may have been related to insufficient sample size and low power. Recruitment was challenging, despite multiple strategies and the offer of one free continuing education credit for all participants. Future research should explore how college health care providers prefer to engage in clinically informed research and whether IPV screening is viewed as an important clinical practice.
